ok I was wondering how you all felt about ..being in love..your soulmate..and when its time to give up on a relationship..How long would you wait for the man or woman you loved..be it though they were sorting out there feelings..or you were in a long distance relationship. How long would you be in a relationship before you took it to the next step to engagment or marriage...

Every couple is different but I think if someone "needs to sort out their feelings", it's not even close to the right time. I knew my husband for 2 years before we got married. Neither of us ever wanted to be apart for any reason. We're still that way. We're best friends. I don't know how long you want to wait. For me I would only wait a few years. Life is too short.
P.S. Watch Dr. Phli on Wednesday. That's the topic.

I think every relationship is different and it just depends if you both are okay with where you are at. My boyfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for about 1 1/2 years even though we have known each other since we were kids. Right now things are fine because I have to finish school and he is adjusting to being a potential step dad for my kids.
I think when you're unhappy with your current situation, it's time to have the talk and lay your cards on the table. I think if your soulmate truly wants to be with you, he or she will come around if they don't want to lose you.

Being in love is so great, so i think if you are in love there shouldnt be time line for how long to wait to get married. As for sorting out feelings, it depends on the feeling they are sorting out. Marriage is a big HUGE step. I think you would feel better if you knew the other person to took the time to be 100% sure its what they are wanting. It dont mean its a bad thing. I personally would wait and give it as much as needed if its real love. An engagment can last years. That dont mean there is any less love.

I usually know within 3-4 months if I want to marry the person, or go my own separate way... It took my husband a little longer to come around, we got engaged about a year after we met, and we got married within 4 months of the engagement. I wouldn't wait much longer than that, there's no point.

I dated my last BF for about 4-1/2 years before I started really talking about the subject. I finally said, look, I want to get married and be a family with someone, and if you don't, that's ok fro you, but not for me. I need to move on. I wish I had done that much earlier.

It all depends on the situation. Ive been with my boyfriend for almost 6.5 years . . . we started dating in college and he is now finishing up a 4 year grad school program. Marriage has always been talked about but i'm in no rush to get married. Let him finish up school and see where things take us . . .

Every relationship is different, I had been with my bf for 5 months when he proposed, we have now been together for 7 years, married for 3 and have 2 wonderfull children. He is definitely my soul mate.
